The reason Muppet Babies was a cartoon and not puppets was because the 'Muppets Take Manhattan' Muppet Babies sequence was one of the most difficult to shoot because of how tiny the puppets were (the puppeteers had to literally stand underneath the floorboards to operate them), so doing a weekly TV series with those puppets wouldn't have been feasible. It was a practical decision rather than an artistic one.
The real reason was it was cheaper to animate them then it was to pay a team of puppeteers to produce a weekly show. Animation is one take, where puppets may require multiple takes. 1-3 animators plus 3 or so voice actors is way cheaper.
SKEETER!!!! LOL!!! I guess Skeeter died that is why we didn't see her in later shows LOL!!! Gummi Bears had that bouncy juice!!! Join Shaggy and the crew LOL!!! Denver had that magical egg shell HA!!! Denver always sounded like a drug dealer LOL!! Vicki tuned out to be HOT after Small Wonder ended! The actresses the played Harriet looks the same. Kids Inc. enough said LOL!!! Beverly Hills Teens; Bianca had the most cheerful butler ever!!! Chipmunk ride motorcycles. CAMP CANDY LOL!!! That nurse wanted to molest John LOL!!! Talking animals wearing t-shirts all the time!!!
Regarding Skeeter: the character did appear in Muppet Kids, a series of books published later with the Muppets as grade schoolers. She also turned up in a few of the Muppets comic books and strips. Re: Beverly Hills Teens: That character (his name was Wilshire, BTW) wasn't Bianca's butler; he was actually a fellow student, rich as everybody else, who was in love with Bianca, to the point where he acted as her chauffer/servant just to be with her.
I grew up in the 90's, before Boomerang was even a thing. CN just started out showing nothing but old cartoons. I don't think they even started doing their own original stuff until the mid-late 90's. I just distinctly remember all day being Top Cat, Wacky Races, The Herculoids, Super Friends, and Huckleberry Hound.
I wanna say pup named scooby doo was one of the first shows that cartoon network syndicated for their channel in the early 90's. With Turner buying Hannah Barbera licenses that was I guess one of the more recent shows of the time (actually thought it was more of a 90's show but apparently it was late 80's and finished before it went over to CN)
So a Pup named Scooby Doo was one of my favorite shows growing up, and I have to say that wass one of the most accurate singing of the theme song I have ever heard. Bravo Andre, Bravo
My, but that was fun, Andre's renditions of the themesongs and Tamara's imaginative (and incorrect) guesses as to what the shows were about had me in stitches! Tamara is so cute and adorable she could BE an 80s cartoon character; so funny and beautiful!!!
Matthew Schell for Andre to remember all of those childhood theme songs word for word I'd except him to leave out a few. Theirs only so much one nerd can do😂😂😂😂😂😂.
I remember that cartoon too I think my favourite was Jackie’s big Sumo friend (and I think there was a episode that his Giant Sumo friend got cursed and turn into a Godzilla-like Monster that eat stuff like a Demonic Cookie Monster)
Loved this! Your memory of theme songs is almost a super power. If I may, I would like to request my favorite cartoons from when I was young: Thundercats, Silverhawks, and Visionaries.
the Muppet Babies theme just gave me flashbacks omg she's so funny that she had no idea for most. someone buy her a few box sets of these shows ASAP 😂 and get her to make these shows 😁😂
This video was hilarious! I have seen Andre team up with a lot of people, but the energy and chemistry here was excellent. Some people simply work well together. Great video.
Andre should make some covers of famous cartoon songs. I really enjoyed the Pup named Scooby Doo opening and background music, it even sounded kind of better than the original.
Oh my god, that was fantastic. I loved her completely crazy plot synopses that somehow ended up better than the real things, and Andre's cartoon themes just off the dome were killer. Not to mention her pure **joy** at his singing them every time.
As a child of the '80s, I remember most of these titles. That was the decade of cable explosion and the number or channels multiplied (for the times) so that most TV shows must have been produced simply as filler - just antiseptic buffer.
I've never seen this side of Tamra's personality before. I only know her character's she's played in NC. She's so funny & friendly irl. I'm really glad I clicked on this video. :)
Muppet Babies should have had Middle Aged Statler and Waldorf as next door neighbors who grumpily poked their heads out a balcony window to complain at all the noise the kids were making.
I'm so much younger than you guys and I knew so much more about Small Wonder than she did lol. I apsolutly love that show! Same with Chipmunks Go to the Movies! I never knew what the title of that little series actually was, so I just guessed and it turned out I was exactly right!
This works so well. It's like their personalities (at least on camera) are so complimentary that it's hilarious. Also oh god, I forgot about A Pup Named Scooby Doo and Denver the Last Dinosaur and etc. until now lol.
And don't forget along with Rick Moranis and John Candy's cartoons there was also LIFE WITH LOUIE(a seriously underrated show!) and (sort of) Bobby's World starring Howie Mandel (comedian and yes it was a great show just like LIFE W. LOUIE).
Man, it's crossover city these days! Batman crossed over with the Ninja Turtles, the Justice League and the Power Rangers, and now Andre and Tamara! What's next? Mario and Sonic? Transformers and GI Joe?
This was great! Please do another episode. I wanted to continue for hours. I actually remember most of these shows. I don't think I've given these shows a passing thought since they were on.
Huge fan btw, I literally watch every video you put out including on your gaming channel :D You've inspired me greatly to start making my own videos as a 90's Kid, lol :)
The reason Muppet Babies was a cartoon and not puppets was because the 'Muppets Take Manhattan' Muppet Babies sequence was one of the most difficult to shoot because of how tiny the puppets were (the puppeteers had to literally stand underneath the floorboards to operate them), so doing a weekly TV series with those puppets wouldn't have been feasible.

Wow! Thanks for the information :)
Damon Pollitt also animation is more appealing to kids,most of the time.
The real reason was it was cheaper to animate them then it was to pay a team of puppeteers to produce a weekly show. Animation is one take, where puppets may require multiple takes. 1-3 animators plus 3 or so voice actors is way cheaper.

Kids Inc. enough said LOL!!!
Beverly Hills Teens; Bianca had the most cheerful butler ever!!!
Chipmunk ride motorcycles.
CAMP CANDY LOL!!! That nurse wanted to molest John LOL!!!
Talking animals wearing t-shirts all the time!!!

More Andre and Tamara crossovers are needed. This is hilarious.
+Wes Taylor Thank you!
Andre "Black Nerd" no thank you for creating this great content
Agreed.
These two + Brian Hull would be awesome to watch!
Andre should do more with Doug and Tamara
I'm a black nerd & my name is Tamara 😁
Tamara Hopkins That makes you awesome to the second power!!!!!
Tamara Hopkins FUUUUUSION HAAA!!
im not a big fan of kids next door
A black Tamara
i fucking approve this message
Andre singing A Pup Named Scooby Doo made me nostalgia so hard
I grew up in the 2000s and I remember watching a pup named Scooby doo, CN must have played some really old reruns.
Tristan Chisholm yeah, it was called Boomerang.
I grew up in the 90's, before Boomerang was even a thing. CN just started out showing nothing but old cartoons. I don't think they even started doing their own original stuff until the mid-late 90's. I just distinctly remember all day being Top Cat, Wacky Races, The Herculoids, Super Friends, and Huckleberry Hound.
kainhighwind2 me to my friend me too
I wanna say pup named scooby doo was one of the first shows that cartoon network syndicated for their channel in the early 90's. With Turner buying Hannah Barbera licenses that was I guess one of the more recent shows of the time (actually thought it was more of a 90's show but apparently it was late 80's and finished before it went over to CN)
Yeah it was all on Boomerang I was born in 2001 and I remember shit like a Pup named scooby doo but does anyone remember TOM 4.0
So a Pup named Scooby Doo was one of my favorite shows growing up, and I have to say that wass one of the most accurate singing of the theme song I have ever heard. Bravo Andre, Bravo
Andre is so cheerful I want to hug him.
VIRTUAL HUGS!
The highlight of my day just became singing "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" with a Black Nerd.
Does anyone else think Tamara and Andre should have a regular show?
I haven't heard Andre laugh this hard in a long time.
+Carlos Manriquez One of the most fun videos I ever did
Black Nerd Comedy this is the most amount of laughing I’ve heard from you
I grew up on A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, I was singing along with Andre, that show was a classic
These two are VERY funny together! Their laughter is infectious!
Damn Andre, you totally nailed that Scooby Doo theme.
Jinkies!
Tamara: *wheezing*
Can't stop staring at the Donkey Kong eyeing Optimus Prime. xD
sneakyfurret can’t. Unsee.
My, but that was fun, Andre's renditions of the themesongs and Tamara's imaginative (and incorrect) guesses as to what the shows were about had me in stitches! Tamara is so cute and adorable she could BE an 80s cartoon character; so funny and beautiful!!!
+DoctorPretorious616 Thank you so much!
My favorite part is when she thought Kids Incorporated was a kids version of The Office
Sort of sad you didn't sing the Gummi Bears theme song. One of my favs as a kid.
Matthew Schell for Andre to remember all of those childhood theme songs word for word I'd except him to leave out a few. Theirs only so much one nerd can do😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Matthew Schell Didn't Alicia Keys sing it on Jimmy Fallon recently?
TheJedi OfCartoons I'm sure Andre knows the song, that is his super power TV theme songs. It probably was just missed for one reason or another.
TheSonicNiGHT I think that was a few years ago. While good I think I prefer the original. Her version was a bit too slow.
I think all those great Disney afternoon theme songs, were composed by the same artist.
Disclaimer: No illegal substances were smoked before the making of this video.
D Rizzo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
NOT
D Rizzo so were they swallowed or injected then?
xbubbahotep swallowed? maybe. Needles are dirty.
Was it not illigal to not do cocain in the 1980's?
Great "Pup Named Scooby" theme rendition, Andre! It's one of my favorite themes from my childhood
I love you two together soooo much
They're just having such a good time that their joy is infectious. I honestly can't stop smiling.
Tamara broke andre, this is amazing hahahaha
+Liam Hartley She did! Ha ha!
Andre "Black Nerd" hope you guys do this again it was so funny. Keep up the good work dude! :)
its the best to see both of you in uncontrollable laughter
Jackie Chan got a cartoon too! I loved that one!! 😍😍😍
NetChix are you talking about the Jackie Chan adventures
NetChix chuck noris also had a cartoon
I remember that cartoon too I think my favourite was Jackie’s big Sumo friend (and I think there was a episode that his Giant Sumo friend got cursed and turn into a Godzilla-like Monster that eat stuff like a Demonic Cookie Monster)
I cannot express the happiness I felt when Andre started singing the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo theme.
They didn't sing the Gummi Bears theme song! I love that one!
Dude A Pup named Scooby Doo was my favorite.... I was literally singing along with you lol
Loved this! Your memory of theme songs is almost a super power. If I may, I would like to request my favorite cartoons from when I was young: Thundercats, Silverhawks, and Visionaries.
Between the nostalgia and these guys just having a blast, this was an absolute joy to watch. DO IT AGAIN. NOW!!!
Tamara Doesn't Remember the Nostalgia Critic Disney Afternoon review
Exactly
I know right
Scott Sandler exactly what I was thinking
I get the feeling she didn't pay attention to the review
What was like a few years ago so
the Muppet Babies theme just gave me flashbacks
omg she's so funny that she had no idea for most. someone buy her a few box sets of these shows ASAP 😂
and get her to make these shows 😁😂
😂😂😂 Andre singing the intro songs.
never seen Tamara laugh so much. Cool episode.
holy shit...this was not a collaboration I was expecting....I watch both of these, so this is a special treat
Surprise!!!
brotha trucka
Dokkalfr
EpicKalamariCat Swag yes?
This was hilarious, Andre is basically a living version of RetroJunk! Also, Tamara had some awesome pitches that someone needs to produce ASAP!
This video was hilarious! I have seen Andre team up with a lot of people, but the energy and chemistry here was excellent. Some people simply work well together. Great video.
I love how much fun you both had in this. 😂😂😂
+sunsbookishgamesx It was a blast! Now it's your turn to collab with me LOL!
Andre "Black Nerd" Well that would make my day/life 😂 if you are serious contact me. If not then 💔
Andre should make some covers of famous cartoon songs. I really enjoyed the Pup named Scooby Doo opening and background music, it even sounded kind of better than the original.
Oh my god, that was fantastic. I loved her completely crazy plot synopses that somehow ended up better than the real things, and Andre's cartoon themes just off the dome were killer. Not to mention her pure **joy** at his singing them every time.
"I'm trrrrriggered" makes me think of Tony the Tiger as the mascot for Tumblr. "I'm not just triggered, I'm Trrrrrriggered!"
As a child of the '80s, I remember most of these titles. That was the decade of cable explosion and the number or channels multiplied (for the times) so that most TV shows must have been produced simply as filler - just antiseptic buffer.
I can only imagine how many times Ferggie was spelling and accidentally started spelling kids incorporated
I love that Andre knows these theme songs like off the top of his head.
The funniest thing tamara said was "You want diabetes, come right in." Lol
Andre's high pitched laugh is the best! XD I was in tears. So awesome to have Tamara on the show!
Who else started singing the theme to "A Pup named Scooby Doo" with BN?
Admit it~ XD
Kaywynn Jones I did.
Doc Trower same
+Kaywynn Jones I did :)
Guilty as charged!
Please, please do more of these! My face litrally hurts from smiling and laughing so much. You two are comedy gold together lol
So funny, my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much.
Ldunk My cheeks hurt after eating... nevermind this is personal.
"Yes! and I would like juice!" is my new favorite expression EVER 🤣🤣
When I heard "Chipmunks Go to the Movies", my first thought was MST3K, but with the cast of Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Sagiri I vividly remember watching the episode where they do a parody of Big.
Sagiri Batmunk!!
I would watch that show.
I had the Batmunk, robomunk and Kong vhs...es as a kid!
Boomerang has brought back "A Pup Named Scubby Doo".
I've never seen this side of Tamra's personality before. I only know her character's she's played in NC. She's so funny & friendly irl. I'm really glad I clicked on this video. :)
+Zombie Jäger I'm glad you did too and thanks so much for saying that. That's always my goals with special guests.
Nostalgia meters are off the charts with the Pup Named Scooby Doo section
Anyone else want Andre to cut an album with him singing 80s theme songs? No? Just me?
Have u noticed how much people laugh with Andre thats whats so special about him the atmosphere is probably very jolly and cheerful and hilarious
The reason why I watch Andre is just to hear him sing
Muppet Babies should have had Middle Aged Statler and Waldorf as next door neighbors who grumpily poked their heads out a balcony window to complain at all the noise the kids were making.
Andre + Tamera=The best 25 minutes of my life!
I'm so much younger than you guys and I knew so much more about Small Wonder than she did lol. I apsolutly love that show! Same with Chipmunks Go to the Movies! I never knew what the title of that little series actually was, so I just guessed and it turned out I was exactly right!
you 2 were great together, so funny lol. Tamara's so cute lol
Thank you so much for singing all of Denver!!!! That's my favorite theme song! You make my life better and my day brighter. Thank you!
And people say the 90s were weird.
Jiphrrr I know right 😂😂😂😂😂
The '80s were weird.
The '90s were *EXTREEEEEEEEME*!
Amelia Doubleyou I think you mean XTREEEEEEME! The 90's loved leaving off the E.
paincalledliving
true!
Case in point: 'Freaked' and Bad Channels.
"Office Space" the Star Wars parody about office supplies fighting the Empire and their ultimate weapon, the Desk-Star :P
i love Andre's sing A Pup Named Scooby-Doo Theme Song. so geart.
I love that you sang the theme songs to these! I still use the phrase "Good morning, Happy Campers!"
A pup named scooby doo is probably my favorite version of scooby. I actually never heard of Denver until recently and I grew up around that time.
Oh I just looked up Denver and I was a tad too young.
I agree with you about a Pub named Scooby. The original show never had a "Who Done it?" type thing, while Pup had a few people it could be.
I loved that show with all my heart, and there was actually one episode where Red Herring really was the monster! my jaw hit the floor on that one!
This works so well. It's like their personalities (at least on camera) are so complimentary that it's hilarious.
Also oh god, I forgot about A Pup Named Scooby Doo and Denver the Last Dinosaur and etc. until now lol.
Tamara and Andre are too adorable.
Fergie also played Sally in some of the Charlie Brown cartoons. She had a wild childhood
Who's up for Andre doing Saturday Morning Cartoon Karaoke?
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Love you two, you're great together. Looking forward to seeing more.
Tamara has such an adorable laugh.
This video put the biggest smile on my face. Your laughs are infectious and you guys are by far the happiest people on here. Thanks for the laughs
We need another of these hopefully soon!
That was so much fun. I love how completely oblivious to everything Tamara is.
And don't forget along with Rick Moranis and John Candy's cartoons there was also LIFE WITH LOUIE(a seriously underrated show!) and (sort of) Bobby's World starring Howie Mandel (comedian and yes it was a great show just like LIFE W. LOUIE).
+Sammy Lane Mmm some goodies to bring out next time :)
Unfortunately,I can't think of the name of it but there was also a cartoon with Gary Coleman where he was an angel.
Brian Adkins It's simply called THE GARY COLEMAN SHOW.
Oh,okay. Thank you! :-)
Don't forget about the Ed Grimley show, I must say. ;)
I love how infectious the laughter and joy is in this video! I should just watch your video's Andre when ever I'm having a bad day.
Man, it's crossover city these days!
Batman crossed over with the Ninja Turtles, the Justice League and the Power Rangers, and now Andre and Tamara!
What's next? Mario and Sonic? Transformers and GI Joe?
Cobra Commander once appeared on an episode of Transformers.
***** I know; I'm a Sonic fan. It was a joke. :)
Archie and Sharknado.
Samurai Echidna Lol
Let's not forget the Defenders !
Andre singing A Pup Named Scooby-Doo theme song was the best part of this video! That was priceless!
Tamera needs to be in everything!
Best. Collaboration. Ever. Please continue to do videos together. Thank you in advance.
Andre, when you were signing I was signing along with you. God I loved those theme songs and surprised that I still remember them
Thanks for singing along with me :)
ladyanime100 I was signing along as well ;P lol Seriously though, the theme song for Denver the Last Dinosaur is so damn catchy, lol.
Andre's laugh is so fricking contagious
Andrea needs to make a cover album of all these shows for all to listen. With a band and back up singers
This is officially one of my new favourite videos. Hilarious and a helluva lot of fun. Look forward to more!
seriously Andre you remember all those intros but you don't do the gummy bear intro song
Sorry, I didn't start throwing in the theme songs until midway through the video. I feel bad not singing the theme song for Gummi Bears though ha ha.
You should feel bad *lol*
Wasn't very dashing, daring, courageous, or caring of him.
+Andre "Black Nerd" we just need a separate video of you singing it that's it just you singing the theme
Easy fix. Start of with the Gummi Bear theme song when next you guys do this.
This needs to happen more often! You two are hilarious together. You had me laughing through the whole vid!
I enjoyed the hell out of this video!
I hope there is another colab with Tamara :)
#GotACrushOnTamara
Man you made me go back and watch muppet babies! Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane! You did an amazing job!
Looking at this and knowing it all at 29 makes me wonder am I really that old?
He recalled the whole songs right on the spot! By the way, A Pup Named Scooby Doo used to be my ringtone for like 2 years
Hmmmm....Office Babies. Someone get me an NBC executive!
+Flounderboy15 I totally would watch this show!
Andre "Black Nerd" DID YOU SEE THE NINTENDO SWITCH TRAILER
Andre "Black Nerd" you guys should totally pitch some cartoons to CN and Nick!! Your ideas made me just loose it!
i think im in love with tamara. ive never been in love with a youtube personality before.
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Mario Lopez were on Kids Incorporated. lol
This was great! Please do another episode. I wanted to continue for hours. I actually remember most of these shows. I don't think I've given these shows a passing thought since they were on.
I'm kinda surprised you didn't talk about The Wuzzles, something tells me that would have blown her mind lol
+TheSonicNiGHT Yeah that would have been a great one!
Huge fan btw, I literally watch every video you put out including on your gaming channel :D You've inspired me greatly to start making my own videos as a 90's Kid, lol :)
This video truly made my day. Please make a round two of this! I had so much fun playing along!!!!!!!
I am late to this video, but this is the best laugh I've had in months. Yes.
Andre singing the Pup Named Scooby Doo song was awesome...loved that show when I was a kid!
I want Andre to be my best friend!
Kikanator96 I know right 😂😂😂😂
Kikanator96 mine too
We all do
Mine too
I want more Andre-Tamara mash-ups,,,you 2 just made my day 😂😂
